Free compost, wood chips available in Fargo

The city of Fargo will give away compost and wood chips from 3:30 to 5 p.m. every Wednesday and Thursday through June 3 and from 7 a.m. to noon this Saturday.

Before and after the free giveaway, residents can purchase compost for $10 per yard and wood chips for $8 per yard.
